Veterinary Dental Referrals
Referral requests are reviewed within one business day of submission. VDCNC hours of operation are Monday-Thursday, so referrals submitted on Thursday and Friday will be reviewed on the following Monday.
Our VDCNC team will email the referred pet’s owner within two business days to continue the referral process. Please DO NOT indicate to your client that our staff will contact them via phone.
Images, both dental radiographs and photographs of the oral cavity, are extremely helpful in determining the urgency of each referral. Please attach images to the appropriate referral form along with patient medical records.
Referral for the following:
Jaw Fracture
Oral Mass
Active Oral Bleeding
Facial Swelling
Severe Oral Odor (Beyond Halitosis)
Inability to Close Mouth
Referral for all other oral pathology
